TMZ has learned Justin Timberlake was ordered to show up in court Monday to prove the woman he’s accused of harassing him is a threat.
But Timberlake’s lawyer figured out the best way to deal with it was by getting rid of the judge. As we first reported, Timberlake obtained a temporary restraining order last month against Karen McNeil. Timberlake claims she showed up at his property several times without invitation.
Timberlake’s case is due back in court Monday — his lawyer will try to make the restraining order permanent.
Here’s the rub, Timberlake never submitted a sworn declaration about the woman.
The declarations filed were from his two bodyguards, claiming the woman is an ominous stranger. But McNeil submitted a 60 page response in which she said she’s a long time friend of Timberlake’s.
Although the response is rambling and crazy, it’s her word against bodyguards who don’t know Timberlake that well.
Wait… what ?!?!?!
As a result, sources tell us the judge told Timberlake’s lawyer to get his client in court on Monday and testify himself about McNeil. Apparently, that didn’t sit well with the lawyer who filed legal papers to disqualify the judge so a new judge will hear the case.
We don’t know if Timberlake will show on Monday … stay tuned.

I find it hard to believe that the judge would take the word of a woman who thinks she’s a God and a bunch of babylon witches are trying to cast an evil spell over her over the word of justins home security team. I also don’t think it’s wise for justin to have to appear in front of this woman just probably adding to her delusions getting to see him in the flesh. Hopefull justins lawyers can figure this out.
You are right Maxie, for Justin’s safety, it’d be better if they can sort this out without him.
And I can’t believe they would take the word of this woman for granted. I mean one would think that those wicked stories, the 60 page of nonsense ramblings and the things she wrote on twitter (assuming that her page is real, which is really possible) would be enough proof for them to know that she has mental issues and can represent a danger for Justin.
I really hope he obtains the permanent restraining order and if at the end of the day they require his presence to achieve that then so be it. However I do think his bodyguards would know better what’s really going on since they were the ones who dealt with her when she broke into his house, so all sources should be exhausted b4 calling him on court.
i believe his guards & lawyer are doing whats best. like u said for his safety. plus u can never trust tmz
